Looking for ideas/advice for a new jacket

[dudewuttheheck]

No worries here, it's a Thedi leather jacket and they would do it if I go for it

Oh, well that's good! I'm pretty excited to see it now.

I don't think it needs it, but something small on the shoulder could be cool.
Cant wait to see the Green!

I'd be looking at WWII airmen's jacket art for inspiration. They had all sorts of imagery which could serve as a template for your jacket. Those boys had some brilliant ideas.

I'm with @ton312 - I kinda hate you in that "I wish I had the sack" to try that way.
Def looking forward to pics of this one! ETA?

Well now I hate you. But seriously. Dude. That will be so incredibly, insanely almost painfully cool...I'm not sure a painted back is even remotely necessary.
But I can see why you'd be tempted. It's like standing at the top of Everest and just saying to hell with it and jumping into outer space. None of that makes sense but I'm sorry. That jacket in green will be just jaw dropping. I literally can't wait to see it and I also dread seeing it as I'm sure my vision will be impaired by tears.

It is as you say, the jacket doesn't need the back painted as it already will be very unique, but at the same time going that extra step could be fun!
So still thinking about it, Theodoros simply told me to find the design then we can discuss.
Love your description of the everest

Hope it doesn't disappoint!

On the shoulder could be good as well.
I really like the green, it's a darker shade in Buffalo.

Thanks! Been abusing google images lately

It hasn't started production... reason being I have another one coming first
I will likely get it by mid to end of Autumn

I absolutely love the greens I've seen from Thedi. Whatever you decide to do. It's going to be one insanely cool jacket.

This in dark green

Isn't that basically the Snake Plissken jacket from Escape from New York? In which case, that might give you some visual inspiration....

This will look good in green. I like Thedi's green hides - I've actually considered this model myself in their green, with some alterations to take armour for a bike jacket.

This is one of those movies I should have watched but haven't yet... Will check it out soon!
I had the option between buffalo and cowhide, both great. Ended up choosing the green buffalo as I liked it more

I think it's gonna be killer.

Watched it this weekend... A Plissken jacket with his tattoo on the back needs to happen!

Sorry couldn't come up with a better title

Anyway, I have a double rider on order, and have the option to get something painted on it. I had in mind to put something on the back, but am not too sure.

Anybody ever considered painting a jacket, and if so what would you do?
And if you wouldn't do it, what puts you off doing it?

Sorry for the confusing message but need some help deciding on that

I highly recommend the Schott Bros 641 HH in front quarter Italian horsehide. Worth every penny.

You recommend it as a base jacket to paint on?

I personally am not into paint on a leather jacket.
